New group for families with autistic young adults aged 18+

We have NEW group starting later this month at the Autism Hub! 🤩

Many of our regular families have raised concerns with us that once their young person turns 18, and although here at the Autism Hub we have our amazing partners, Autism in Mind (AIM) who offer support to autistic adults, many families have shared their worry that ultimately and technically the support for the family themselves stops.

Families have shared with us that they get so much from our services especially our monthly peer support groups (Cuppa & Cakes) calling it their ‘safe space’. We pride ourselves on listening to feedback, adapting, and expanding where we can on our offer here at the Autism Hub.

With that in mind we are thrilled to share that we have expanded our monthly cuppa and cake groups to include a NEW monthly group for families with autistic young adults 18+

Our first group will be held on:
Monday 23rd February 2026 10am-11:30am at the Autism Hub, Gordon St, South Shields NE33 4JP. Booking is essential.

To book a place:
Call 0191 816 0550
Email autismhub@ttht.co.uk
Or book via our website ttht.co.uk/autism-hub-events/

**Please note this group is for parent/carers only not the young adult**
For support for autistic adults please follow the link to AIMs offer in South Tyneside: https://autisminmind.com/aim-south-tyneside.

To help a person having a seizure:

✅Lay the person down, on their side, head turned to help breathing
✅Ensure the person is breathing properly – loosen clothing around the neck

Watching the news or looking at your social media feed, it’s easy to believe that the UK is more divided than ever. The voices of those who seek to spread hate, harm our communities and separate us are loud.

But the reality is millions of people across the UK show up for each other, their neighbours and their communities every single day. From respecting someone's pronouns, to making workplace commitments to LGBTQ+ inclusion - acts of hope and kindness happen all the time. These stories are too often left untold.

Today we're excited to announce that we’re working alongside our friends at Crisis, Freedom from Torture, The Wildlife Trusts, and community and faith groups, to celebrate and inspire A Million Acts of Hope across Britain. A week of action is planned for 13th - 20th May.

We can’t do it alone. So please, will you join us, to help show the everyday acts of kindness that truly define Britain?
